Shanxi travel guide 3

Shaanxi is also abundant in natural beauty beyond its rich historical legacy. As one of the five best-known mountains in China, Mt. Huashan, 120 kilometers (or 46 miles) east of Xian, is famous for its breath-taking cliffs and awe-inspiring landscape. The Hukou waterfall on Yellow River, the second biggest one in China, is very overbearing and magnificent. And Moutain Lishan and the nearby Huaqing Hot Springs are very attractive. Their beautiful legends will bring you into a moving love story between emperor Xuanzong and a beauty named Yang Yuhuan.
Shaanxi is both a base area of Chinese new-democratic revolution and a place with unique folk customs. The loud resounding Shaanxi opera, the joyous clattering of gongs and drums, the exquisite cut - paper art and the peasants' paintings full of a rich flavor of life attract more and more tourists' attention from home and abroad.

  1. Are you 3 buddies planning for 7 crazy days of fun in Amsterdam? A couple going for 3 romantic days in Roma? Or an adventurer going for 14 days around Africa? Without Guidora, you are losing hours on searching for information on Lonely Planet, TripAdvisor, Booking etc, to find what is the best place to stay, how to move, what are the costs of everything, how to combine top rated restaurants, outlet shopping and extreme activities in your travel itinerary.
